    I agree. Scary. But whatever floats their boat.
    I just was surprised reading another thread, I think sometimes people have a warped idea of what 30% fat looks like and also, say, 10%.

    thanks for posting this.I think I would like to be 30% to 22% body fat. I do think the 35%- 40 % girls have great bodies though. It's how fit you are under the fat sometimes. The 10 % guy, eww (just my personal preference) I would be wrapped if my husband had the 25% body. Looks strong still lol

    Very interesting, and it does help with setting goals. Looks like I want about 17%!

    It's not an entirely fair representation because you can take two twins even with the same body fat, but one could just be lean like a skeleton and one could be jacked and still be at the same %'s

    I have 23% of bodyfat and I look worse than the 25% picture. Oh well...

    Thanks for posting this! I've seen it before but I often refer back to it. It's useful to see what the different %s actually look like. I'd find it even more useful if there were more pictures with different body types. I didn't look like Ms 50% when I had her fat % (or higher) because she has a different body type to me. And it would also be useful to have pictures of people with higher fat percentages. (I started at 57% and couldn't find anything that fitted).

    This is great and looks quite accurate to me. I'm 22% now and would love to be about 17-18%

    Funnily enough I find the fourth male and the fourth female to be the 'ideal'. But I that could be because rank 2 lower (or is that 2 higher lol.)

    Glad to hear positive comments about 25% on men. Was thinking he still looked a bit chubby and I needed to aim for 15. (says the dude currently at 40%)
